What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic works on the spine to correct vertebral subluxation, thus affecting the functioning of the nervous system and therefore the health of the whole organism.
The nervous system controls the function of all organs, tissues, glands and body systems, thanks to a continuous flow of information from the brain to the Body. An improperly aligned vertebra (Vertebral Subluxation) can alter the function of the nerves that emanate from the spinal cord and branch out through the holes in the Spinal Column, possibly causing organic disorders and certain symptoms.
By specific spinal adjustments, the chiropractor corrects the mis-aligned vertebrae, restoring their mobility and returning proper function to the nervous system.
